Yeah, really gathering the whole community together tonight for what we're very, I would
say, eager and excited to share with you.
Talking about how we can become powerful kingdom messengers without a season change, without
circumstances changing, without it being ideal conditions.
We've gotten lots of feedback as we've been growing this community through the last almost
two years in our workshops, in our trainings, and life happens, right?
There's always a lot of life going on.
And Bruce and I feel like what the Lord has been walking us through specifically in this
year is being mirrored in this community.
So this is stuff that we've been personally walking through.
We've been learning and growing in, and we just felt compelled to share with you guys
some of the mindsets and the belief shifts that have really impacted our walk with the
Lord and our walk as kingdom messengers as we take more territory in the digital landscape.
That's right.
So as we're getting on, I don't know if you already said this, but share in the chat where
you're tuning in.
Yeah, that's always fun.
We've got people from Australia, I know.
We've got people in Europe, although I think it's like 2 a.m., 1 or 2 a.m. there.
We've got South Africa.
I know we've got people obviously on the West Coast and Canada.
So if that's you, just drop it in the chat, whichever chat you're in.
San Jose, that's awesome.
And if you're watching right now just through a stream, like if you're on Facebook, feel
free to join us on Zoom.
The link is in the description.
It's always fun to see your faces and just connect in that way.
So absolutely feel free to join the Zoom call tonight.
Very cool.
So we are going to do a few things tonight.
First, I just want to get some housekeeping stuff out of the way.
So we have a tech service.
If you're in the U.S. and you're not on the tech service, we do announcements like this
so that we're going to be doing all throughout July, we're going to be doing a bunch of free
kind of training like this.
So go ahead and maybe I'll drop it in the chat here, and Tamara can just share this.
But oops, that is the Zoom, there we go.
You're just going to text WORKSHOP to 404-383-4709.
That is going to go to our text list, and that way you just get updates for that.
We do not spam you.
We try not to be too annoying.
And so we'll let you know like, hey, we've got this free thing showing up.
And the cool thing is if you reply to that text, it actually comes right back to me and
to Tamara on our team.
So we can actually respond to you.
So if you ever have a question or something, that's a great way to just get a quick answer.
It's like texting your friend, really, I think.
So like I said, we've got KMTV.
If you are watching and you're looking for the Zoom link and you're in Kingdom Messenger
TV or you're subscribed, just check your email.
That link will be in there for you.
If you're not a subscriber on KMTV or you're watching somewhere else, that's totally fine.
You can watch the replay.
But I just want to let you know that's where it is.
And if you're watching on YouTube, like we have a YouTube channel.
So I'll go ahead and drop that as well, but KM, there's a link right there if you want
to go and subscribe to our Kingdom Messenger YouTube channel, because we're gonna do free
training like this.
And we actually post weekly with free content from Lindsay, free content from me, just doing
tech training.
And we're trying to just share you, encourage you in your journey as a Kingdom Messenger.
Yeah, we like to keep in touch.
We like to stay connected.
And we like to make sure that you guys have that touch point, because this is not a journey
that we want you to do alone.
Isolation is no fun.
So we want to make sure that you guys are equipped and resourced.
And so we make, you know, different things available to make it accessible to everyone
in our community.
Absolutely.
And, yeah, so and then tonight, we're probably going to do just every time we gather, we'd
like to encourage you guys with some some gifts as well.
So we'll probably draw like two or three names at the end.
And we're going to give away some Amazon gift cards and some Kingdom Messenger TV subscriptions
to some people at the end.
So stick around.
We'll do that.
It's always fun to just because there's something there's something you need on Amazon for your
kingdom channel.
Maybe you need a mic or something, but that helps just contribute a little bit to it.
So awesome, guys.
Well, if you're excited to do it tonight, just go ahead and drop in the chat like, let's
do this.
Let's go.
Amen.
We like the dialogue.
We don't just like talking at you.
We want to be talking with you.
We want this to be a conversation.
We really feel stirred that there is something significant happening, shifting in our community
tonight.
And this is this is a step of obedience for us to talk about this, to share what we've
been going through a little bit this year.
And we believe this is not a motivational talk, OK, because motivation doesn't stand up well
against resistance.
But we do believe in partnering with the Holy Spirit and encouraging you on your journey.
And that's what we believe.
tonight is about.
Gotcha.
So I'm going to start sharing.
And we're going to, um, so just wanted to set sort of like where we're coming
at from this for this evening.
So guys, we, you know, uh, in, uh, February of 2020, Lindsay launched her
podcast, you, uh, you know, weekend, you had like a word, you know, an idea, a
spark, and then by Monday morning launched podcast and you just continue to grow
that, you know, we've grown it for about three, four months and, uh, and it kind
of got some momentum.
It was one thing you just did for like, you had a single friend you wanted to
help, and then that didn't turn it up to kind of multiply and multiply.
Um, and then last year, uh, in January of 2021, we launched kingdom messenger.
So while we're doing is basically showing you our process and how we, uh, you know,
have been become kingdom messengers in the, over the last two years.
It's something that we've helped kingdom messengers for the last decade, you know,
getting content, getting, uh, you know, church content online, getting courses,
things like that, just helping disciple people online, but now we'd never really
done it for their own content.
So it's really easy to promote someone else's thing.
It's kind of different when it's your own content, you kind of deal with
different things like, is it okay to promote myself?
Is it okay to promote this thing?
Like, it's just, it's kind of different to do that, but, but we've kind of gone
through that process and we just feel very, uh, much like the Lord has, has
an huge invitation here for kingdom messengers to take territory online.
And, uh, and that's why we do what we do.
Like we, we, um, as Lindsay said, like we could have easily just kept growing
Lindsay's channel and just kept focusing on that, but we felt very much like there
was a multiplication that needed to happen, um, inside, uh, with this.
So we said, we're not just gonna help grow like Lindsay's channeled posture.
Um, but we want to bring, you know, hundreds and hundreds of kingdom messengers.
I think we said, we want to try and get thousands to impact millions, right?
Absolutely.
We want to equip thousands to impact millions.
And that vision hasn't changed.
It's not, it's not going to change.
Um, but we feel like the Lord has given us an upgraded lens through what we've
experienced this first half of the year.
And it's an invitation for all of us.
That's what tonight is about tonight.
Tonight is about maybe embracing some new beliefs, taking on a new mind about the
ministry that we do online and maybe removing the lens that resistance has
tried to put on us, um, this year.
Yeah.
Because throughout that whole journey from when we started in March, like we
grew, Lindsay was doing daily episodes.
It was, there was, it got created.
There was a lot of resistance, right.
That, that she was pushing through and then we kind of broke through and then
everything was just going well, like we quickly passed 10,000 subscribers and it
was 50 and then now it's like 120,000.
It just kept growing.
And then we kind of hit another wave like this year where we felt
like there was more resistance.
And so what we've discovered in this is that there are seasons, um, of kind of
ebbs and flows and we have to kind of know which season we're in and also know
like how to, how to have a lifestyle that helps break through resistance.
Um, that it's not something we just kind of break through once, but having a whole
lifestyle of breakthrough and, and kind of overcoming resistance in that.
And so.
Um, what, what we're doing here is just kind of sharing kind of our journey.
This is how we feel like there's, there's a way for kingdom messengers
to be powerful in every season.
So no matter what the season, no matter what your time constraints, there is a
way for you to be powerful and to show up for you who, uh, wherever you are
and whatever you're called to reach.
Uh, and so that's what we're going to be diving in tonight.
If that sounds good, just give us a thumbs up, like drop something in the chat.
We're going to be looking at the chat of all the chats that are going out.
They're kind of all spread around our screen.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Thumbs up.
That's awesome.
Um, so we are looking at that.
You guys can definitely chat.
There's typically gold that is shared in the comments.
You guys are, you know, encouraging each other.
So it's kind of like two conversations that are happening.
So we're, we'll keep an eye on it and, uh, and go into that.
So I'm going to turn it over to you and jump into it.
Yeah.
So, uh, we're going to take on a lie tonight that the enemies try to put on us,
which is what our season and our circumstances are, what dictates whether
or not we can do the thing that's in our heart to do as we partner with the
Lord here on the digital landscape.
So like Bruce said, tonight, we're going to be talking about, um, how to
become powerful kingdom messengers, regardless of our season and circumstances.
Now, some of you may remember if you've been in our community for a while, that
back in December, we shared in our kingdom messenger, Facebook group, um,
what we've prophetically felt for the year 2022, we believe that God was
telling us that this was going to be a year of breakthrough.
And personally, I was amped about that word.
I was like, yes, this is going to be a year of breakthrough.
We're going to take on territory.
We're going to break through more things and only to discover pretty soon into the
new year.
But the thing about breakthrough is.
You actually have to break through some things.
That's right.
Amen.
You have to push forward and move through some things.
Just write that down right there.
Break through.
The end, period.
You have to break space through.
So as the new year started to unfold, January, February,
Bruce and I began to experience a lot of resistance.
In fact, it was what we call unusual resistance,
because it was like areas where there typically
had been flow, like Bruce had said.
There was suddenly this ebb.
There was this pullback.
There was this pushback to what we were doing.
And I'm curious, has anybody else
felt resistance this year?
Have you felt like there's been resistance
as you tried to launch your channels, as you tried to grow,
as you tried to watch through the workshop,
as you tried to learn things?
Maybe it has nothing to do with your kingdom channel,
but there are circumstances happening
in your life that's taking your focus away,
taking your motivation away, taking your desire away,
and you're not able to continue forward.
Is that happening?
Yeah, Marcella said there's this resistance,
the resistance of feeling overwhelmed.
I felt tired all the time.
I didn't know what was going on.
Physically tired.
Physically tired, like I was carrying a burden.
And we connect with our members weekly.
We connect with our road mappers monthly
on these coaching calls.
And we were hearing similar feedback.
We were hearing, like, there's a lot of life
happening right now.
I'm feeling behind.
Or I feel stuck.
I feel overwhelmed, like Marcella said.
And so a couple months in, just, I mean,
embarrassingly, not that much time had passed
since getting the word, this is gonna be your breakthrough,
to feeling no longer amped and feeling done.
I didn't want to break through anything anymore.
I just wanted to break away.
I just wanted to quit.
I wanted to walk away from it all.
I didn't want to launch anything new.
I didn't want to change anything.
I didn't want to try again.
I just wanted to stop all the action.
And when I look back now, I see that what had happened
was in the midst of all the resistance,
I became resistant.
I became resistant to taking action
because I began to identify with the resistance
that I was facing, and I began to expect it.
So it's like, what's the point of moving forward
on a project or learning this new skill
or showing up online if I'm just going
to experience more pushback?
So for those of you that said,
hey, I've been facing resistance,
is that resonating?
Do you feel like, hey, maybe that's what's been happening
when I've struggled to move forward on something
or put together a post or produce something?
I didn't just, I'm asking because I want to call it out
because I didn't know that that's what was happening.
Like I said, I was just feeling tired.
I was feeling a little overwhelmed.
I thought what's going on.
I didn't just wake up to like,
oh, this is what's happening.
I'm resistant.
I would get triggered easily, right?
I would, all those things were happening.
And what it was, was I was identifying with the resistance.
I was becoming resistant.
And instead of breaking through,
I was just feeling broken down.
And I don't remember the exact prayer that I prayed.
It was very conversational with the Lord.
Like most of my prayers in that type of situation.
But I do remember the answer
because I heard in my spirit guide say,
Lindsay, this is not about what's happening around you
or even happening to you,
meaning all the external circumstances.
I wanted to figure out what was going on.
Like I wanted to like take care of this situation over here
and take care of that
and like figure out why everything was going on.
And he said, it's not about any of that stuff.
It's about something that is happening in you right now.
This is all about your identity
because you've started to identify
with the resistance you're facing
and you've allowed the hard circumstances
to tell you who you are
and to paint a false picture about who I am.
And it was like the lights came on when God said that to me
because I realized,
oh, I haven't just lost confidence in myself.
That's kind of obvious, right?
Like I was feeling intimidated
by all the things I usually just did
without even thinking about it, right?
Like putting together episodes and stuff.
But more than that,
I had lost confidence in God's heart for me
in what we were partnering together with
online in my kingdom channel.
Like I had slipped back into this mode
of trying to earn his favor and his smile.
Trying to earn his like delight
in what we were doing together.
I was engaging with all the things
that were swirling around me,
all the resistance and the hard circumstances
as if it was a passive aggressive message from him.
Like as if he had caused.
the hard circumstances to try to tell me something,
to try to teach me a lesson.
And so I was like, well, what is the lesson?
Like, where did I go wrong?
What do I need to do differently?
And I was focused on all of that noise
instead of trusting who he is that he says he is
and his heart towards me is good.
And this is something we're partnering in together.
And in my weakness, he is strong.
I had allowed all those hard circumstances,
all the external noise to tell me something
and to talk me out of the word
that God had spoken to me at the beginning of the year
when he said this is going to be a year of breakthrough.
So we're gonna talk about that word,
that word of breakthrough tonight
because that is the word of God,
not just for me, but for this community this year.
I believe that he spoke that for all of us this year,
that this would be a year of breakthrough.
And many of you came into this community
because you felt led by the Lord
to join this vision together
in leveraging the Digital Landscape Disciple Nations
to make the screen your mission field,
to take territory for tech.
I mean, to take territory in tech for the kingdom,
to pioneer a new way of doing ministry
that didn't lead to burnout yet still reaches nations 24-7.
Like, this is an incredible opportunity.
And it wasn't me and Bruce being very motivational.
It was us saying-
We're not that good.
It was us joining, sharing our partnership with the Lord.
Hey, we're doing this, like, join us.
And then you felt stirred in your spirit.
And I know this because you shared this in your workshops
and in our trainings together.
Like, hey, I saw your ad and something leapt up in me.
Like, this is for me.
I felt like this was confirmation
of what the Lord had been speaking to me.
You had the word.
You're moved to join and to launch and to scale.
And it's tempting when we're facing resistance
to wait for a new word before taking action
and continuing forward.
I only know because this has been my experience.
I was, at the beginning of this year,
months past God's telling me
this is gonna be a year of breakthrough.
And I'm like, I need a fresh word.
I need someone to prophesy over me.
I need to make sure that I am hearing correctly.
I need him to speak.
And none of those things are bad.
None of those things are bad or wrong to desire.
God is so generous with us.
He is not holding back his word.
We already have the word.
We don't have to wait for another word.
You have individual words that he's spoken to you.
And we invite you to receive this word of breakthrough
that we believe he's given our community for 2022.
Now, some of you are very new to our community.
You've joined through some of our on-demand workshops
or you follow us on social media.
Welcome.
Maybe you weren't-
Welcome to the family.
Yeah, welcome to the family.
Maybe you weren't here back in December
when we received that word, but you're here now.
And part of the reason we wanted to host this training
tonight is because we wanted to plant the seed
of that word in your heart.
This will be a year of breakthrough.
Yeah.
And then for the rest of you who have been with us
for months or maybe over a year now,
for myself included, for Bruce included,
we wanted to host this gathering tonight
because we believe God is replanting that word
in our hearts.
This will be a year of breakthrough.
If I can just jump, like we,
this is something that's gonna be a continual process,
right, as a kingdom messenger.
You will face, you know, bad comments,
tech not working, stuff's gonna happen.
Like there's gonna be pushback.
And then not even just in your channel,
but just in your life, you know,
the enemy's not gonna want you to step out
and to be bold and to be confident
and to preach without any shame.
So there's gonna be pushback, right?
And it's gonna happen at different levels.
And so I think this is something
that we have to keep coming back to, right?
That there's gonna be different levels
that are gonna keep breaking through, right?
Absolutely, absolutely.
And it's not because you're a target.
Yeah.
It's because he's triggered.
Hmm.
You're not subject to the enemy's dispute against you.
Jesus already dealt with that on the cross.
He's already overcome.
We live in that victory.
This is something Bruce and I
are like really stepping into this year.
It's like, we're not taking on a victim mentality
of I'm a target of the enemy
because I'm trying to make an impact for the kingdom.
He's just triggered because he knows he's lost.
So we're moving forward boldly and with confidence,
knowing we already hold the victory.
We are receiving that seed of the word
that God has said, this is a year of breakthrough.
And in order to receive that seed,
let's deal, let's address the weed of resistance
because it's there, right?
It's not fake.
The things that we're facing are very real.
We're not diminishing them
and saying it's not a big deal, just get over it.
like very real life circumstances, we have faced very real life circumstances,
like not just tech frustration, but things happening in our own worlds
that have wanted to take us out of the out of this mission. And I know from experience
that it's tempting to believe we are only qualified to share our messages from the mountaintop.
I'll say that again.
It's tempting to believe that we're only qualified to teach, to preach, to show up online as a
kingdom messenger from the mountaintop. When things are going well, when we have all of our
ducks in a row, when the negative circumstances in our life finally go away, when we have some
extra time in our schedule, when at least we feel like we have a little bit of a handle on what's
going on in our lives, then we can teach, then we can preach, then we can show up and impact lives.
The problem with that way of thinking about our ministry, thinking about our lives as kingdom
people that way, is it requires no faith in God, no dependency, no intimacy, no relationship.
If we're only qualified when we reach the mountaintop, we become dependent on our own
natural abilities to reach people, to touch hearts, to change lives, to alter eternities.
In that mode, we minister as if we're not a part of a divine partnership with Father
Jesus and Holy Spirit. We believe that the success of our ministry, our kingdom channels,
is solely dependent on us. In that mode, we actually believe the authenticity of the gospel
that we preach is solely dependent on how the circumstances of our lives are currently playing
out. It's only true because things are going well. Does this feel like hopefully a weight
is lifted? I just want to go back to what you said there a second ago,
that it's not up to us that our kingdom channels prosper. Do you want to dive into that more?
Because I think success is good. It felt great when I hit 1,000 and 10,000,
but there's this temptation sometimes to think, okay, now I have to keep it up. Some of you guys
have reached that. It's a snowball. Once you feel that momentum.
You've reached that and you don't want to let people down because now there's 10,000 people
that are subscribed to my channel and I've got to get my weekly episode out. What we do is we
shift out of peaceful partnership with Father and with Jesus and with Holy Spirit. We move
into this stressful striving of having to conjure up content. We're not content creators. We're
kingdom messengers. If we're not aware of that belief of, okay, but really I only feel qualified
if I'm standing on the mountaintop right now. We can start to partner with the accuser against
ourselves when resistance come and we only add to the resistance in that mode.
The authenticity of the gospel that we share, the good news we share is always secured by the word
of God, not our circumstances, not any particular season of life we're in. That means we can become
powerful, impactful kingdom messengers right now without having to wait for things to be different.
A better schedule, a better circumstance, a better season. I believe this now more than
ever because it's why I'm here tonight. The resistance hasn't yielded. This is not us being
like, and then after four months time, everything started to work itself out. No, we're still in it.
We're still in it. A lot of things haven't changed, but we have. We're here by faith tonight.
We are here in love tonight, believing that God is moving us to push back on the pushback.
We're taking it personally because we believe God has put us in community with you for such a time
as this. We're not backing down, not in our own lives and not in our calling to lead you
in this season to become powerful kingdom messengers. So I look back on this first half
of the year and now I can see so clearly how Holy Spirit has been leading us through resistance
training. We believe he's been leveraging all the resistance we've been facing, not authoring it,
not causing it. We really don't believe that. This is just part of being in a broken world.
We rub up against some of the brokenness, right? But he is leveraging it as an opportunity
to strengthen us, increase our stamina, increase our capacity,
and most importantly, deepen our relationship with.
God. And what's happening is there is this peace-filled, steadfastness that is emerging in both of us, in our home, in our family.
And it's emerging in this season, but we know that we will carry it for the rest of our lives.
Like, we're taking it with us outside of this season and outside of this year.
So what we believe is happening is that for all of our community, God is moving us out of living for just situational breakthroughs, and He's leading us to live a lifestyle of breakthrough.
So we're becoming who we already are in Christ.
We're becoming more aware of what it means to be made in His image.
Because we have become, we know this from 2 Corinthians 5.17, we have become new creations in Him.
And we know from 1 John 4.17 that as Jesus is, so are we in this world.
So if it's true about Jesus, it's true about you.
And it's true about us.
God made us in His image and likeness, Genesis 1.26, from the very beginning.
We know this was His original purpose, and it hasn't changed.
And in 2 Corinthians 3.18, it talks about how as we behold Him, we become more like Him.
Glory to glory.
We are becoming true to our true selves.
That's what's happening right now.
If it's true about Jesus, it's true about you.
Now, a few months ago, didn't feel true.
Didn't look true for me.
Was it still true?
Yes.
Because He said, it's His word.
This is the battle.
This has always been the battle, right?
It's like since the garden.
Did He really say?
Can we really trust what He says?
Can we trust He is who He says He is?
That He's for us, that He's with us, that He's in us, that He's never leaving us.
He's not forsaking us.
He is with us in the monumental.
He is with us in the mundane.
I've been stirring the last couple of days on what Jesus said in John 10 in verses 27 and 30.
He talks about how His sheep listened to His voice.
He says, my sheep listen to my voice and I know them and they follow me and I give them eternal life and they never perish.
And I love this part where He says, no one will snatch them out of my hand.
I would like to add, I feel like I can paraphrase, no circumstance.
Right.
We'll snatch them out of my hand.
No point of resistance.
We'll snatch them out of my hand.
He says, the Father has given them to me.
And He says, the Father is greater than all.
No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
He was so secure in who the Father was.
And He says, I and the Father are one.
And Jesus tells us later on in John, He says, you and I are one.
So we're all one.
There's no separation.
We have a voice to follow and it's not the voices of our circumstances.
It's not the voices of our failure.
It's not the voice of the media.
It's not the voice of resistance.
Don't listen to resistance.
Don't listen to it.
Don't identify with it.
Write that down, please.
Don't listen to resistance.
Don't identify.
It has nothing of value to say to you and it has nothing to teach you.
I really want to push back even on the belief that, well, I've learned from my
mistake. I learned from my mistakes.
If your mistakes are teaching you anything, usually it's distrust and
intimidation and fear.
The Holy Spirit is teaching you and He leverages mistakes and mishaps and
resistance and things that are happening in trials.
He's the genius, not the circumstance.
Don't listen to it.
It's not teaching you anything.
It's not telling you anything.
We don't have to deny that it exists because our circumstances are very real.
But it's more about focusing on who we are and whose we are in those circumstances
that makes all the difference.
Jesus gets the glory, not how big our circumstances are.
And what was happening with me was instead of understanding that, I was
beginning to slowly internalize all the things going wrong around me until I
actually began to believe that something was wrong with me, like inherently faulty
with me, which is what shame is.
Some of you have started this journey of leveraging the digital landscape to
disciple nations with the eagerness and the delight of a much loved child, a
beloved son, daughter of God.
I know this because I've been on calls with you and you're like, I can't even
believe I'm here right now.
This is so amazing.
Wow, there is so much to learn.
This is going to be awesome.
But now, weeks or months, again, some of you have been with us for over a year.
Some of you are believing, I will never learn.
I will never have enough time.
It works for everyone else, but not for me.
That is shame talking.
And it reared its ugly head in me at the beginning of this year.
And then I felt ashamed for feeling shame.
Has anyone felt that?
You feel bad about feeling bad?
I felt so silly.
That's right.
I'm like, I know better.
And I know you guys know better.
This is, we're talking to mature people.
Like this is not, this is not, this is meany stuff, okay?
Jesus bore our shame.
You don't have to anymore.
I don't have to anymore.
And instead, we get to exchange those ashes for the beauty of being a beloved son, a beloved
daughter of God.
And we get to live and move and partner and launch and lead and minister in love.
We do all those things in him.
It's not about doing magnificent, impressive things here on earth to then become beloved
by God.
This is about doing all things from our place of being in the beloved.
We are hidden in Christ.
There's no separation.
Everything we do is in him.
And it's a joy and it's delight.
Is it always easy?
No.
But it is a journey that can be marked by peace, not by stress, not by shame.
And so this is what we've been walking through.
This is what we're practicing into permanency right now as we continue to take territory.
It's not necessarily like we didn't know the truth, but we're experiencing the truth at
a deeper level.
And this is the genius of Holy Spirit and how he leverages the things happening to us
and around us to grow our identity in us.
And now it is a practice.
I feel like some people think that I have one date with God and then I just leave and
everything's...
They don't see the messy process.
I haven't always had a good attitude.
I've cried a lot this year.
I've complained.
It's felt harder than it feels fair.
And yet he continues to be who he says he is with me, for me, in me, and it's the same
for you.
You can do this.
We wanted to take tonight to encourage you with that and remind you guys, this is about
identity.
Before it's about what's happening through you, it's about what's happening in you, because
we felt like it was necessary to relay that foundation, replant that seed, or lay the
foundation for the first time if you're newer in this community, because as we begin to
continue and giving you guys strategy and tactics and training and workshop, it won't
be maintained if we don't know who we are in this journey.
And a lot of us are coming out of burnout situations or ministry hurts where it's been
give, give, give, give, give, stretch as far as you can, kind of ignore what's happening
in my personal life so I can show up with a smile and just give, give, give, give more.
And it's led us to burnout.
It's led us to brokenness.
It's led us to breaking away and breaking down.
It's not everyone's story, but it's some of our stories.
And I believe part of what we're doing here in Kingdom Messengers is redeeming that.
Where the enemy wanted to take us out for us to have a bad pace towards ministry, the
church, reaching people, changing people's lives, God is redeeming that in your life
right now, and you are going to have a multiplication effect.
Your dreams, like some of you, I don't know if I've shared this layer of my story before.
Some of you feel stirred about reaching many people.
Yeah.
Some of us feel fulfilled with our one-on-one interactions.
We feel very fulfilled.
We feel like life is breathed on us when we're leading small groups.
That's wonderful and amazing.
For me, as introverted as I am, it goes beyond natural reasoning and it goes beyond my natural
I have always felt stirred to reach big groups of people.
And you've had words.
I've had words of that.
And it wasn't until this intersection of technology and the message that God had stirred in me
I began to experience a breakthrough in that area.
For a long time, I felt silly.
It felt self-serving for some reason.
It felt like I should just be okay
with just reaching a few people, like why?
But I just feel like there's some people watching tonight
who need the permission to be like,
that is a God-given desire.
Like you sit in arenas and you desire to be on stage
and you listen to really impactful messages
and you desire to share messages
that are just as life-changing.
And that's okay, that's okay.
I believe it's a God-given desire.
It's not everyone's desire, that's okay too.
But if you leave there's people in this community
that need to, one of the breakthroughs
that you're gonna have this year
is that you're gonna reach a lot of people
for the first time ever.
And it's going to be a dream
that has been years in the making.
And all of a sudden you're going to be
reaching arena-sized groups of people.
Yeah, and I just wanna say,
and maybe this is something,
if you've heard Lindsay's Testament
or you've seen other Kingdom Messengers,
this movement is for you.
This is not just for Lindsay.
This is not just for Posture.
If that's all we do, we feel like we're pioneering away.
Yes, maybe we're a year or two ahead
because we just started earlier.
But that just means that we get to share
some of the strategies of what best practices to do
and what not to do so you can get there faster.
And what shortcuts to take.
We believe there's gonna be people that surpass us.
This is the beauty of community.
We're talking to our members group today.
There is a shift coming in this community
where the group share is gonna turn on.
Because there's people in this group,
many people in this community
that are going to, I believe, bypass me
in followership and influence.
Guys, that's gonna be beautiful.
And you're gonna come and say,
hey, I figured this out
or there's a really innovative strategy here
or an algorithm change
or the Holy Spirit's teaching me this.
Group share is turning on.
And that's why we wanted to,
we just wanted to plant that seed back
because the year of 2022 is not over yet.
And again, this is not about just an outcome.
The breakthrough is not contained
in just what's happening this year.
It's what we're taking with us out of this year
into the next year and next year and next year.
That's good, yeah.
And we just wanna say there are things
that hold you back as you go from these different levels
of breakthrough that you're trying to get through.
And I think that being in community
and encouraging one another, this is great.
If you're in the Facebook group,
if you're in whatever way that you're connected,
share, comment on videos, ask people questions,
encourage one another.
It's amazing when people start giving feedback
or maybe you post an episode
and another kingdom messenger is like,
oh my gosh, actually that really ministered to me.
And it's just being in communities
that can be such a great way to do this kind of together.
We're very much on mission to,
we've mentioned before,
we wanna be reaching a million people a week
with the good news of the gospel.
And that has been a goal that we set last year.
And right now we're coming up
on passing about 300,000 people with this community
that's preaching the gospel every week.
So that's everybody in our membership
and our roadmap group.
We track all those numbers
because we feel like the Lord is bringing real people.
Each one of those 300,000 is a real person
at the other end who's getting testimony,
getting revelation, getting encouragement.
And so we track the numbers, we take it seriously.
These aren't just ballpark figures.
We have literally every single person
gets counted at that 300,000,
add it all up together.
And we're on mission to keep pushing that
to where we're reaching a million people a week.
I think that's a really cool vision.
And we're excited to have you guys
along for the journey with us on that.
Yeah, so we're halfway into this year of breakthrough.
We're gonna spend the month of July
in our new WebEx community.
Bruce and I are gonna give some bonus trainings
in our larger community.
We've been talking with our members
and our roadmap group about the journey ahead
because we really wanna concentrate
on what's happening in the next few months
just out of obedience, but in faith, in love,
not in stress and striving.
And believing that this word that's been planted
is going to reap a huge harvest.
And so we're going to be, like I said,
doing some free trainings for the next couple of weeks.
Just watch your email, watch the texts coming in.
We're gonna be doing a bunch of free trainings like this.
And really around mindset shift,
around our beliefs, around our identity
because that is so crucial.
We wanna lay that foundation.
before we start to take on more strategy and tactics.
It's really important that we are all on the same page
with this is who we are and this is who God is towards us.
Yeah.
And then we're gonna be going into,
we're gonna, so we're dedicating July
just to encouraging you guys
and getting some of these mindset shifts.
And then what we're gonna do is in August and September,
we're gonna be starting another eight week intensive.
And so what are we gonna be covering?
Because everybody here on these calls
are at different stages.
Maybe you're doing a ton of stuff on TikTok,
maybe, but you're not doing anything on YouTube.
Maybe you're doing Facebook really well,
but not really on TikTok.
Or maybe you're just like,
I feel like I have a podcast to share
and I don't know what to do next, right?
There's people at different stages.
And there's gonna be something where we set goals
as a community to say, hey,
this is where we wanna be in the end of eight weeks.
And we're all gonna hold each other accountable
and stick with it for eight weeks.
Because we feel like there's this pushing back,
there's this breakthrough that needs to take place
that we wanna do as a community, right?
It's gonna be easier in community.
We wanna do it together and push.
And we've got goals we're gonna create even for posture,
right, that we wanna get to a certain thing
and we're gonna set those goals.
Because this is a infinite game.
If you know anything about content creators
and social media,
there is no end to how many people you're gonna have.
Because there are content creators that are like,
oh, I'm at a thousand, I wanna get to 5,000.
And then you've got people that are in like 5 million
and they're like, I bet I could get to 10 million.
It just doesn't end.
And you've got-
And so what we wanna do is we want to like,
it's been too open-ended.
No matter where you are in your journey,
it can feel a little bit too open-ended.
So we want to place some intention
why we're gonna do this like eight week intensive.
You're gonna pick your individual goal.
And then in that intensive groups, like a cohort group,
we're going to like focus on skills, strategy, tactics
to reach that goal.
Growing your channel from, if you're starting from scratch
or if you're just continuing to build.
And so we just, we really feel like it's important
that we get intentional,
like kind of just take a chunk, right?
Because it's not just about what's happening through us
in that eight weeks.
We believe the Lord is gonna partner
with that what we're doing, with that intention.
And he's going to be building us up.
It's gonna be about the work happening in us.
So we're really excited about the conversations
that are gonna come out of that
and the revelations that are gonna come out of that.
And so, like I said, we're meeting all of July.
We're gonna get a ton of stuff,
just get you guys motivated for those eight weeks
to get focused.
And whether you choose to work with us
in that eight weeks cohort,
or you decide to go ahead and just kind of go on your own
or go through, just, that's fine.
Our goal is not to get you to do a specific program
or something, it's just to get you activated, right?
To get you launched, to help you realize
that there's this massive opportunity to preach the gospel
and to disciple people online using video-based content.
And it's never been easier to record this
with simple tech like your phone and post videos
and quickly get tens of thousands of views
and comments and feedback and actually help people
just with very minimal effort, right?
And so it's just something that we can leverage right now
because there's so much going on in social media
and the media and stuff that's very discouraging
and it's very hopeless.
And we wanna try to bring hope into those situations,
bring light into the darkness.
And we feel like that is what Kingdom Messenger
is all about, essentially, is to be a light in the darkness,
to share, to bring a kingdom message down,
not just a Christian podcast, right?
This is not a Christian podcast.
This is a kingdom messenger.
You're bringing kingdom to earth.
You're bringing heaven to earth in this new way.
Absolutely.
And so with our coaching hat on,
okay, like where do we go from here
after a training like this?
Because a lot of this training was obviously
about embracing a new belief.
And believing is something.
We believe what has activated these new beliefs
in our lives is taking action.
We feel like God is jealous for our participation,
that what the resistance has tried to steal from us
is that participation in the partnership.
So that's gonna look different for everyone.
So the opportunity, first of all,
is stay connected with the community.
You already are, because you're here, right?
The second opportunity is that we're gonna be doing
an eight-week intensive.
It is a paid program.
We told our members today, they're a part of that.
You're gonna be joining kind of what we're doing
within our membership group.
But if you would like information on that,
if you just wanted to talk-
I can't talk about it right now.
I mean, I'm saying like, we're-
I am talking about it right now.
No, we're not going to,
we feel like there needs to be a conversation
because we feel like there's some battle-weary people
in our group, because there has been resistance.
And a conversation needs to be had.
We wanna hear-
where you're at, where you're feeling stuck.
I wanna make sure this is a good fit for you.
So that we're gonna drop a link in the chat.
You can set up a call with us
and we can just have a quick conversation
to see if it's a good fit.
You can ask any questions you have, we'll talk it out.
We just feel like that's a good entry point
for this intensive.
We want everyone to participate in something
moving out of this training
because taking action is actually choosing
to trust what you believe.
And so ask the Holy Spirit after this call,
what is my next step to take action on?
Not many steps, like don't give me a 10,
like it's not, don't look for the 50 steps,
just what is the next thing?
And he'll illuminate for you.
He'll let you know what the next step is.
We feel like we need to reactivate.
We needed to do this.
And there's about this community,
we're gonna reactivate people.
A lot of you have been active,
but it's participating with that intention of,
I believe God's heart towards me is good.
And I'm not gonna listen
or identify with the resistance any longer.
It's that trust-filled participation
that's going to put us into breakthrough, I believe,
into that lifestyle of breakthrough,
into growing in our identity,
growing in our awareness of who we are.
It's awesome.
So again, we'll drop the link there.
We'll share it wherever you're at.
You'll get an email with that.
Again, it's a free call, 20 minutes.
We're just gonna chat and see
where you guys are at in your Kingdom Messenger journey
and see how we can connect with you guys.
We've been doing this for about two years,
coming up on two years, right?
Year and a half?
Yeah, year and a half, not two years yet.
And we have a ton of different resources and things,
including everything from free YouTube content
to Facebook groups, to all kinds of stuff,
because we just wanna serve as many people
at scale as possible.
And so what we're doing through Kingdom Messengers
is also what we're teaching you guys to do,
is how to go find your who,
how to leverage technology, Facebook groups, and YouTube,
and all these things to go encourage and to inspire
and to bring hope to your specific who.
So guys, we're committed to July to serve you guys
and to just bring a ton of value
and to help you guys get some breakthrough.
Because I think there's things that,
because we're pioneering,
there's things that maybe there's not been a way
that's been made yet.
And so we have probably some false beliefs
and misconceptions about how the way should go.
And so what we're just trying to do
is help bring some clarity,
as people who are maybe like a little bit ahead
of just maybe finding out that you can't go left,
you need to go right, right?
We wanna try and save you guys some of that headache
and just share that over the next couple of weeks
through July.
So that's what we're doing.
That sounds good.
Just let us know that you guys are still listening
in the chat, say, that's awesome, thank you.
